DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Idaho BRIN Program has had a profound effect on biomedical research at every level and in all regions of the state. In the brief eighteen month period since the BRIN Program was implemented in Idaho, a network of research core facilities now enables researchers from all parts of the state to have access to state-of-the-art technology. This has fostered new inter-disciplinary research collaborations between faculty at the University of Idaho, Idaho State University, and Boise State University. Such inter-institutional collaborations are unprecedented in the history of Idaho, and have allowed us to focus on a single statewide theme for biomedical research, Cell Signaling. Bioinformatics, a research tool used sparsely prior to BRIN, is now applied extensively as a result of new facilities, targeted training sessions and undergraduate and graduate level courses. BRIN has enabled us to assemble an educational pipeline, beginning at K-12 levels, and continuing through college and graduate schools, while offering progressively greater research experiences at each level. The INBRE Program would allow us to build on these successes, and extend the Network to undergraduate colleges and institutions throughout the state. The INBRE Program will continue the three cores established under BRIN: Administrative, Bioinformatics, Research, plus add a fourth Outreach Core. These cores will support five fundamental goals: 1) To continue to build an interdisciplinary research network under the theme of Cell Signaling; 2) To support a Network of Research Partners consisting of colleges with developing research missions; 3) To expand the Outreach Core and enhance science education and training at undergraduate colleges; and 5) To create an educated workforce that will sustain a developing biomedical industry in Idaho. All network universities, colleges, and institutions recognize the BRIN and INBRE Programs as a unique opportunity to build Idaho's research infrastructure so that our faculty can become more competitive for NIH awards. But our approach is designed to build a lasting change in the biomedical research culture in Idaho, reaching to the next generation of researchers and to the public. We anticipate that by the end of the INBRE Program the fundamental changes being made in Idaho's biomedical research enterprise will be sustainable, so that support from infrastructure programs such as INBRE will no longer be necessary.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱达荷州BRIN计划对该州所有地区的各级生物医学研究产生了深远的影响。自BRIN项目在爱达荷州实施以来的短短18个月里，一个由研究核心设施组成的网络现在使该州各地的研究人员都能获得最先进的技术。这促进了爱达荷大学、爱达荷州立大学和博伊西州立大学教师之间新的跨学科研究合作。这种机构间的合作在爱达荷州的历史上是前所未有的，并使我们能够专注于生物医学研究的单一全州主题，细胞信号。生物信息学是在BRIN之前很少使用的一种研究工具，现在由于新的设施、有针对性的培训课程以及本科和研究生水平的课程而得到广泛应用。BRIN使我们能够组装一个教育管道，从K-12年级开始，一直到大学和研究生院，同时在每个阶段提供越来越多的研究经验。
